The joy of the engagement gradually subsided, and life returned to its usual tranquility. Not long after the engagement, He Siyan had to say goodbye to Gu Yunxi and return to his military service. Although they were filled with reluctance, they both understood that it was a call of duty and mission.
Gu Yunxi's vacation continued, and she didn't let herself relax. In addition to regularly accompanying her mother, Xia Liang, to the company to learn about business management, she also took the opportunity to travel with her friends Qian Ziyi and Lu Jingang, enjoying the leisure and fun of the vacation.
Qian Ziyi and Lu Jingang are both good friends of Gu Yunxi. Knowing that Gu Yunxi has been through a lot recently, they planned some relaxing and enjoyable activities to help her unwind. They went to the cinema together to watch several popular new movies; they also went to a nearby park to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
Lu Jingang suggested, "Yunxi, let's go hiking, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and get some exercise."
Qian Ziyi excitedly chimed in, "Great idea! I heard there's a mountain nearby with beautiful scenery. We can go for a picnic and enjoy the beauty of nature."
Gu Yunxi smiled and agreed to their suggestion: "That sounds great. I was just thinking of going out for a walk and relaxing."
So the three good friends drove together to the nearby mountains, laughing and chatting all the way. They found a beautiful picnic spot at the foot of the mountain, spread out their picnic blanket, and laid out the food they had brought.
Gu Yunxi sat on the picnic mat, gazing at the distant mountain scenery and feeling the gentle breeze on her face. She felt very peaceful and content: "This kind of life is so pleasant. It's so good to have you all."
Qian Ziyi handed Gu Yunxi a sandwich: "Yes, Yunxi, we should hang out together more often in the future."
Lu Jingang smiled and said, "That's right, good friends are meant to share happy and wonderful times together."
Gu Yunxi not only enjoys the pleasures of life but is also actively expanding her business. Realizing there's still some time before the start of the new semester, she decides to use this opportunity to realize her long-held business plan. This time, she chooses a more challenging project—opening a supermarket.
The plot of land Xia Liang had previously purchased provided the ideal location for Gu Yunxi's plans. She decided to build her own supermarket on this land, which was not only an investment but also a test of her abilities.
After examining the house on the land Xia Liang had previously purchased, Gu Yunxi found it dilapidated due to its age, and its structure and facilities no longer met the needs of a modern supermarket. After careful consideration, she made a bold decision—to demolish the old house and rebuild a supermarket that met modern standards.
This decision meant she would need to invest more money and effort, but Gu Yunxi believed it was worthwhile. She hoped to create a shopping space that was both beautiful and functional, providing customers with a better shopping experience.
Gu Yunxi contacted a professional architect to discuss her vision and needs for the new supermarket. She emphasized the use of natural light, a rational spatial layout, and energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building materials. Based on her requirements, the architect created preliminary architectural drawings and interior design plans.
Xia Liang supported her daughter's decision, knowing it was not only an investment but also a test of Gu Yunxi's abilities. Xia Liang used her network to help Gu Yunxi connect with reputable construction companies and offered industry advice.
On the day the old house was demolished, Gu Yunxi stood on the construction site, watching the excavator slowly push down the old wall. She felt both reluctant and expectant. She knew that this marked a new beginning, and her business dreams were about to take root and sprout here.
After the demolition work was completed, the construction team quickly began foundation construction. Gu Yunxi visited the site every day to supervise the progress of the project and ensure construction quality and safety. She maintained close communication with the architects, engineers, and construction team, promptly resolving any problems that arose during construction.
As construction progressed, the outline of the new supermarket gradually emerged. Gu Yunxi was filled with pride and excitement. She had already begun planning the supermarket's internal layout and product categories, looking forward to its early opening and welcoming of customers.
As the new school year begins, Gu Yunxi's new supermarket project is still in full swing. She has grand plans and aspirations for this project, not content with simply building an ordinary supermarket, but wanting to create a comprehensive commercial center.
Standing before the unfinished construction site, Gu Yunxi gazed at the colossal structure gradually taking shape, her heart filled with anticipation. She planned to expand the building into a five-story commercial space, each floor with different functions and features.
She told the architect, "I want each floor to have a unique theme and style, from fresh food to home furnishings to leisure and entertainment, so that we can meet the needs of different customers."
The architect nodded in understanding: "I understand your idea, Ms. Gu. We can set up a fresh food area and a daily necessities area on the first floor, a home furnishing and household goods area on the second floor, a food court on the third floor, a children's play area and an education center on the fourth floor, and a gym and some service facilities on the fifth floor."
Gu Yunxi was very satisfied with the plan. She hoped to provide a one-stop shopping experience so that customers could find everything they needed here.
Xia Liang also expressed great interest and support for the project. She said to Gu Yunxi, "Yunxi, your idea is very forward-thinking. A five-story commercial center can not only attract more customers, but also enhance our brand awareness."
Gu Yunxi expressed her gratitude for her mother's support, saying, "Thank you, Mom. I will work hard to make this project a success and live up to your expectations."
As the project progressed, Gu Yunxi had to find a balance between her studies and project supervision. She used her spare time and weekends to check on the progress at the construction site, communicate with the construction team and designers, and ensure that the project proceeded according to plan.
Although the project is not yet completed, Gu Yunxi has already begun planning the marketing strategy and operational management after its opening. She knows that the success of such a large commercial center requires meticulous planning and unremitting efforts.
